A Pillow Pet for Connor

Remember how Connor really wanted a Pillow Pet for his birthday? Connor is very lucky to have awesome grandparents in Florida (Grandma Cheryl, Grandpa Jerry, and Great Grandma Arlene) who sent him some birthday money for his pillow pet. So last week we went to the little kiosk in the mall for Connor to pick out the pillow pet he wanted.



He immediately picked up the tiger pillow and declared that was the one he wanted. But he also decided to pick out a ladybug pillow. He says it's for his sister, but we all know that Connor really wanted the ladybug for himself (that is, until the salesman told him that the ladybug was for girls.)



Connor was super excited to finally have his pillow pets and he's been loving on them ever since!



One final story.... Connor saw a big armored truck in a parking lot the other day. "Mom, what kind of truck is that?" he asked me.

"It's an armored truck," I replied. "It's used to carry valuable things like money, jewelry and other really important stuff."

He considered this for a moment. "Oh," he said, "Like pillow pets?"

  1. Awww, I'm so glad to see he finally got his pillow pet! What a special treat! And that he picked one out for sweet Kaitlynn too and b/c of that he got the real one he wanted, the ladybug! :)

    I wish life was as simple as pillow pets being so valuable as to be transported on an armored truck! THAT is cute!
